The archangel in Queen's Blade is shown to be second to God in terms of authority, with six pairs of wings in comparison to a normal angel's one. She is often found disciplining Nanael for her rather unholy acts being a rather large embarrassment to the rest of her angelic comrades.

Seven Mortal Sins makes reference to their heavenly counterparts, the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Lucifer was their leader prior to being cast down to Hell, and later discovers that Michael has taken over the group in her absence. Michael serves as the Final Boss of the series, making this a subversion because God has declared mankind a failed experiment and ordered the Virtues to purge them. Lucifer was cast down for arguing against discarding the universe. After taking over the Sins, she declares they will defeat God and free humanity.

The Digimon series features a full angel hierarchy, with popular Digimon such as Angewomon and Magnaangemon being akin to archangels, and Ophanimon, Seraphimon and Cherubimon taking their namesakes from angelic ranks in the bible. Holy Digimon are also all identified by Holy Rings featuring in their design. Often the more Holy Rings the higher the Digimons ranking amongst other Holy Digimon, although this rule is played pretty loosely. Demon digimon, such as Devimon and Ladydevimon for example, are considered Fallen Angel versions of Angemon and Angewomon respectively within lore.

The Four Archangels of The Seven Deadly Sins are the most powerful warriors of the Goddess Clan. They are the counterparts to the Ten Commandments of the Demon Clan and fought against them 3000 years ago. Despite technically being the good guys, the three of them that are shown were more than willing to commit heinous atrocities during the war that horrified even the Commandments if it meant destroying the demons. Like the rest of the Goddess Clan, they lost their bodies and were sealed away at the end of the war, but were eventually unsealed so they could once again oppose the remaining Commandments now led by Meliodas. While they're still called the Four Archangels, there are actually only three of them by the time they return. The fourth Archangel, Mael, was killed by Estarossa during the first war against the demons.

Comic Books

The angels in Shade, the Changing Man are smug, brute-force manipulators who don't even bother attempting to appeal to morality or necessity. They brought Shade back to life but also made him crazier by taking a piece of his mind to control him with. They resurrected Kathy and withheld the Mind Rape memories so intense they killed her, then extorted her with them to make her keep Shade under control. They're such Jerkass Gods that they make a bargain with anFaux Affably Evil Devil seem sane by comparison.

There are billions of angels in Afterlife Inc of varying power levels. The seven archangels, however, are a different breed: seven immensely powerful beings that once ruled the afterlife. The archangels were wiped out by a mysterious event known only as the Calamity, leaving Anahel as the last surviving member of his brethren. Thankfully, despite being the most powerful being in the afterlife, he's happier just to be left alone.

The Black Hosts and the Archangels they work for are good guys in Ghost Rider comics. They rarely show up and even more rarely do they do anything, unless there is no other way to stop a Downer Ending or if they have Fallen, but those who fall are considered "former". Some of the arch angels get away with a lot of Jerk Ass activity without losing their rank but most of them seem to be pretty nice. Archangels are also responsible for appointing the angels of death.

Angels are also affiliated with the Asuras(probably meant ahura), embodiments of goodness which stand guard at the gates of heaven and the spirits of vengeance, the ones most likely to appear and act on panel.

Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, and Uriel are invoked by name during rituals in the Deryni novels. They variously manifest as pillars of light, or elements (earth, air, fire and water), or luminous beings that seem to have wings. They are identified with compass points or the Four Winds as well as the Four Elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water):

Raphael is associated with Air, the east, and the colour gold. When Deryni conjure a ritual circle, they start and end with his position. He's also associated with healing, so he gets particular mention when Rhys and Evaine dedicate their newborn Healer son Tieg in the short story "Healer's Song".

Gabriel is associated with Water, the west and the colour blue. His patron is the Virgin Mary, because he delivered the news that she would bear the Son of God. Kelson takes Gabriel's position in Liam's killijálay in King Kelson's Bride.

Michael is associated with Fire, the south and the colour red. He is the patron and namesake of the Michaelines, a militant religious order that functioned like a cross between the Jesuits and the Templars. Kelson summons Michael by name to destroy Sidana's ring in King Kelson's Bride.

Uriel is associated with Earth, the north, and the colour green. When King Cinhil dies during a ritual, Uriel is seen escorting his soul from the circle to join the souls of his deceased wife and son.

The Archangels and the ever-elusive Almighty in The Dresden Files, who prefer to work In Mysterious Ways so far. Non-religious Harry identifies them as "powerful beings of Nevernever", on par with the Faerie Queens and beyond.

Stronger. Uriel is powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies, though it's not not clear if the other Archangels are at his level of power. It is suggested by Mab, the Winter Queen, that he is the most dangerous of all the Archangels, primarily because he's the craftiest. Possibly worth noting is that even among the Archangels, there is a hierarchy, or at least defined roles. Uriel is the protector of Freewill and will do anything in his power and limits to complete this duty. It has led him to be their wetworks guy.

Played with in His Dark Materials — there are good angels and bad angels. The 'lead' angel has usurped God and rides around in his floating fortress.

In L. Jagi Lamplighter's Prospero's Daughter, Miranda is quite shocked to learn that one being Mephisto can summon is Uriel. At the end, he gives instructions to Astreus, who had been rather high-ranking himself.

The Mortal Instruments features Raziel, who created the Shadowhunters. Also, Michael, Gabriel and many others are mentioned but do not appear. Raziel explicitly states that God exists, but what degree of direct interest He takes in earthly affairs is ambiguous.

In the web-novel Domina, the angels have Names based on some of the traditional Archangels (including Lucifer, though it's mentioned that they should have used Samael instead). The Arch-Saints, the leaders of the angels, are named after the Dungeons & Dragons Celestial Paragons, with Zaphkiel the Watcher at the top in Chronias.

Live-Action TV

Archangels have showed up in Supernatural, particularly in seasons 5-6. The only resident Archangels are Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael. Lucifer is still one even after his fall, but is no longer part of the Heavenly Host. Archangel Gabriel went missing too. Interestingly, Uriel is present, but is not an Archangel. It's implied that they have a full celestial hierarchy except for the missing God. Castiel works for Zachariah and Anna refers to having been his superior, while Zachariah works for the Archangels, Michael in particular.

The Celestial Hebdomad for the Lawful Good archons. These seven, one for each of the Seven Heavens of Celestia, most closely resemble the traditional Christian concept of archangels.

Talisid and the Five Companions, paragons of the Neutral Good guardinals. Their beast-like forms seem inspired by totemic or shamanistic 'spirit guides'.

The Court of Stars, leaders of the Chaotic Good eladrins. They're more like fairy lords than angels, but embody Chaotic Good all the same.

Pathfinder has the Empyreal Lords, who are demigods representing the good outsider races (archons, angels, agathions, and azatas).

The Archangels in In Nomine. They are much more powerful than regular angels, but are Word-bound (forced to operate in accordance with their descriptive Word) and thus limited in thought and action.

The Angels are the Imperators of Heaven in Nobilis- though in a case of Light Is Not (Exactly) Good, they are just above all else. The schism that resulted in the Fallen Angels existing (at least in third edition) was that some of the angels loved everyone, even the corrupt... and for this, they were cast into Hell.

The leader of the Boros Legion of Ravinica, and especially of the numerous angels within it, has always been an angel. For most of the guild's history, this spot was filled by the archangel Razia, although after her death it was taken over by Feather, who was then ousted by the much more warlike Aurelia.

Most notably, the Archangel Gabriel and Remiel are often presented as the only sane guys in the Law faction. Most other angels are utterly subsumed to God's will, and either are demented Knight Templars of the worst kind, outright despise every living being with free will, or both.

Interestingly, there are two types of Archangels: The named archangels (Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael) and the generic demon Archangel. The named archangels are usually endgame or near-endgame in terms of power, while the Archangel is one of the lower-leveled demons.

Speaking of which, according to supplementary material, the Celestials in general are basically the Upper Class Twits of the universe; elitistic hedonists who were granted a place in Bhava-Agra, a paradise of instant gratifications and endless parties, either because of their own virtues, through attaining enlightenment, or through a Bargain with Heaven. It's also thanks to the Celestial Paragons that the Celestial Bureaucracy is such a mess: No more people are getting into Heaven. The official reason is that they're out of space, but the truth is that there's plenty of it, the Celestials just like hogging enormous areas for themselves.

Imperius is the Archangel of Valor, who believes in "blood for blood" when it comes to demons, and is probably the biggest jerk on the council, especially when it comes to humans.

Tyrael is the Archangel of Justice, and one of the only angels who actually gives a damn about humanity, to the point that he becomes one in III to aid humanity directly against Hell.

Auriel is the Archangel of Hope, and the other main proponent for humanity. Without Malthael, she's the one tasked with keeping the Angiris Council together.

Itherael is the Archangel of Fate, who is in charge of angelic records and divining the future of Sanctuary.

Malthael, the Archangel of Wisdom and once the leader of the Angiris Council. He disappeared soon after the Worldstone did, and his whereabouts were unknown until he resurfaced as the Angel of Death in Reaper of Souls, having gone evil and seeking to destroy humanity and the Nephalem.

Lineage 2 has angels as a monsters. They are God's servants, but they look down on lesser races (including all PCs) and will attack them for insolence when approached. Epic Boss Baium spawns with several angels attacking him. They are almost invincible and need to be controlled. If they are not dealt with, Baium attacks more randomly and loot from him can be severely decreased.

In Dwarf Fortress, most players will never encounter an archangel. Fortunately. They serve as Bonus Bosses for those brave or foolhardy enough to seek out such a challenge, and powerful enough to survive the might of the lesser angels that, in of themselves, far eclipse all but the greatest of mortals. Their appearances are randomized, as variable as the ineffable natures of the gods that create them. They respawn after every visit too!

Web Comics

In Holy Bibble, the top angels: Michael, Gabriel, Phanuel, Cassiel, Uriel and Sariel, have superpowers. Jophiel and Raphael might also be included in this list.

Web Originals

SCP Foundation: Dr. Clef's SCP-001 Proposal is very likely to be Archangel Jophiel, an archangel who is tasked with keeping humanity out of the Garden of Eden. His sword could cut anything including people, drones and even an ICBM. Incidentally, Word of God is that Clef was the one that cast humanity out of Eden, which means if he isn't the serpent that tempted them to sin, then he's Jophiel, which mean Clef proposed himself as SCP-001.
